And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18 KJV

Do you doubt that he is capable of doing that one thing for you? Have you called on Him, but you keep envisioning the worst or maybe your thoughts are going in the opposite direction of you request?

Open your mouth again and ask Christ to do what it is you need done in your life. Show your trust by counting on Christ to achieve for you not only because you believe without proof, but because you have confidence in his words and his work.

Christ commands with authority and the situation before him does not measure up to his authority and power. Look at what he has done according to the Gospel: He forgives sin, heals the sick, relieves the soul from unwanted spirits, and even stills the wind and water for his disciples comfort just by speaking. What is holding your voice hostage?

You are tired, worn down, yet you have not taken any Christ action or maybe you have, but not with the right mindset. Stop assessing and give it all to the one who has the ability to do all and change all that exist in your life.

Scripture Inspiration: Mark 2:1-12, 4:35-41, James 1:1-18 KJV

Are you one of those…

overcome

 

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revelation 2:7

In all that we fall short in and all that we achieve Christ knows that a certain amount of us will overcome.

In his message to the seven churches he says exactly that. He states what will be given to those who overcome. He does not say “if” we overcome, but he uses the words “to him that overcometh” or “he that overcometh”.

There are issues and accomplishments within each church that Christ speaks to and he tells them in plain language what they are doing and where they have deceived themselves into believing that there status has made them whole or held them back from the completeness that is desired through Christ.

Though their actions are known and revealed Christ gives them instructions on how to receive what is to come by being overcomers. He promises something to all who are able to overcome.

If you are doing the good you know to do and it aligns with the righteousness of God continue along the path. Christ is willing to teach and guide you; he will place the right resources on your path and in your hand to help you along the way. Listen for God’s voice so that you will not be deceived or forget his righteousness and live in contradiction.

If you have never lived a life reconciled to God through Christ you should consider your options. Consider living a life that offers eternal life and a way to make it through everything you face here on earth rather than living a life feeling like something is missing and never finding it. Living a life reconciled to God will allow you to take on life differently. You will see your successes and obstacles through new eyes.

What if you are one of those who Christ speaks of? You, the one who overcame until the end; how can this happen if you never choose to live a reconciled life or if you being reconciled to God fall into a lukewarm state of being and never push yourself to change. Smash the deception trap and stop giving the Devil the advantage over your life. He already has an outlined goal to derail and destroy you don’t help him succeed, but pay attention to what is taking place in your life every day so that you can eat from the tree of life. You got this!

Don’t just talk about it, live it…

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive you. Matthew 6:14-15 KJV

To open your mouth and apologize, ask for forgiveness, or to forgive someone else is not always the thing the mind and heart wants to do. It is not difficult to talk about forgiveness, but actually doing it when there is a need is when the hesitation and struggle show up. How do you actually forgive others or seek forgiveness for yourself, making it something that is achievable rather than something that is only talked about.

I will share my experience with this issue from both sides. There are some people that I had to forgive and some that I had to apologize to so the air between us would clear. Forgiving others was not any easier than seeking forgiveness. I had to understand what I was doing and why. It was about letting go of what could not be changed in each situation. In some cases it meant forgiving those who did not apologize, those who were not sorry about their actions and apologizing to others in a general way for what I was not aware of doing.

What really had to happen for me to apologize and to forgive others is a change in my heart about what I felt others deserved and what had happened to me. I also had to consider what was more vital to me holding on to what occurred or letting it go so that I could live better. I let it go, vengeance and all that was keeping forgiveness from flowing out of me and into me. My trust in God and my relationship with him allowed me to see and do this.

To master forgiveness you have to come to a point of believing that you will be okay if you let go of what cannot be undone or changed. Release it like a balloon full of helium and do not worry about where it lands. Remember to trust God. If you are trusting God there is not any situation that you have to go through alone. Keep him in your life daily right at the front and he will be with you during every good or trying situation you enter into.

Scripture Inspiration; Psalms 30 KJV

Belief Is Enough

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:5

Having trust in God is enough. You do not need to perform some kind of religious act or measure your transformation prayer according to your lifestyle to be transformed by God. Just talk to God and ask him to save you. A morally good person and a immoral person can each desire to be saved and if each has belief in God, and trust that he will do exactly that, that belief is enough to move God.

Often this is complicated by what the human eye sees when he or she looks at a sinner. There is an idea that so much more will need to be done in order for a criminal or a lair to be saved than what will need to be done for a honor student who is living morally well. This is a self deceiving way of thinking. God works with the belief and desire, he just needs to hear the request. His vision is enhanced when ours is failing and he locates the heart and deals with it, while we are convincing ourselves that a special act must be done first.

Live with a life status of belief and you will find that your are good enough for God’s hands to touch your life. Once God touches your life it will be enhanced in ways that you thought were not reachable. Keep trusting God for every change you need to make in your life so that your ways align with his standards.
